The two series, shown together for the first time.
From the artist statement
These two bodies of work belong to one thought. People of the land grow their food in the same soil in which they bury their dead; people of the sea draw their food from the same water that receives theirs. Sustenance and loss share a single element, and that element is what I paint with. This is island life from an islander’s point of view — the land beneath us and the sea around us — and it is an inquiry I expect to occupy me for the rest of my career.
